music for myndos

Music for Myndos is a joint project between the Festival and Glasgow-based composer Matthew Whiteside. It sets out to reinterpret the Koyunbaba Ancient Quarry and the partly submerged jetty of ancient Myndos through sound and image. The project is in development.

Over a 15-day residency, Whiteside will dive with the Eco Legacy Mediterranean Association, recording underwater sound with a hydrophone and filming beneath the surface. This material is the basis for a 15-minute composition and a film edited by Marisa Zanotti.

The work will premiere at the Ancient Quarry, with a further screening at the Festival Centre. Whiteside will also lead a workshop for GFA students.
